Notes
- Salmon Fillet Selection: Opt for fresh and high-quality salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. Skin-on or skinless fillets can be used based on your preference.
- Sweet Chili Sauce: Choose a good-quality sweet chili sauce, available at most grocery stores or Asian markets. You can adjust the level of spiciness and sweetness by adding more or less chili sauce and honey.
- Baking Time: The baking time can vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Keep a close eye on the fillets to prevent overcooking. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnishes: Fresh cilantro, parsley, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds are common garnishes that add color and flavor to the dish. Feel free to personalize the garnishes based on your preferences.
- Broiling (Optional): Broiling the salmon briefly after baking can help caramelize the glaze and create a glossy finish. Use caution not to burn the glaze; keep a close watch during broiling.
- Serving Sides: Consider serving the Sweet Chilli Salmon with a side of rice, quinoa, couscous, or a medley of steamed vegetables to create a balanced meal.
